Northants Run with Dove House Motor Company on 19th May

[gpb1]

Does look like a beautiful morning for a run out.

[RS4Audi]

It certainly does!
I live 10 miles from Dove House, and the sun is shining

Car is washed and ready to go

Bugger. Spotted an Enzo on the A508 earlier headed towards Northampton, thought to myself "I wonder if that will be on the Dove House run next weekend"

Think I spotted a part of the run on the B660 near Kimbolton at about 11.30 ish, certainly a convoy of about 8 including a Lambo a couple of fezzas and a mean sounding black Porsche

I was going in the opposite direction in my 993 C4. Looked like everyone was having some fun.

That will have been the Flying Horse contingent on their way in from Clophill. Black Porsche was a matt black RWB-style 993.

we were about twenty strong at one point, including five lambos

somewhere in sunniest northants, there are still some lost lambos doing many point turns

thanks dove house and all !

Didn't make it to out on the run (left when the rozzers turned up) but had a great morning looking at some fab cars and chatting with some very nice people. Bacon rolls and tea were the cherry on the petrolhead cake.

After we saw you guys we stopped at The White Horse in Tilbrook for some lunch, and there was a white R8 and yellow 996 GT3 in the carpark and a load of Caterhams coming and going.

What a great day.

[RS4Audi]

The run was excellent, although there was some rather choice over taking maneuvers near Pitsford
A notable one being a learner slowing and indicating to turn right, then someone over took it!
There were other rather questionable ones too, but its not my place to mention what cars they were.....

Aside from that, it was an excellent day.
I've got a few photos to post in a bit

Hide - its the rozzers!

what a great day and excellent run

many thanks to Mark and his crew for arranging the run (and the weather) and to the lady and gents on catering

thanks to Jack for saying "hi" (must be your brother with the house then)

we called into the Rushden Historic Transport Society, with their fabulous bar, for a swift half as it would have been rude not to, to round the day off nicely

[Fat Albert]

Thanks for a good day, My son and I enjoyed it

We went straight from DH to Sywell when the Rozzers arrived and enjoyed a quiet coffee in the Pilot's mess waiting for everyone to arrive, my son (aged 10) took some photos:

Good to see the owner uses his GT40 - it was in Sindlesham, nr Wokingham the day before

[AndyM2249]

Fantastic day. Thank you for laying this on. That attending officers attitude was initially a bit interesting (I'll leave it as that...).

Tony & Phil were as pleasant and enthusiastic as ever - that Cayman looked like it handled well Tony.....

Shame we had to leave before "part two" - but my passenger had work - really good day / drive out - thanks again.
